As fortune and farce dictate, this mission coincides with the arrival of an American smuggler intent on clinching a deal for an antique rifle, not to mention civic rehearsals for what will be Bhutan\u2019s first ever democratic elections (the film is set in 2006, just ten years after western media \u2014 TV and the internet \u2014 had been allowed to infiltrate this deeply conservative society).<\/p>\n<p>The film is the first Bhutanese film to be nominated for an Academy Award.<\/p>\n<p>The Monk and the Gun is a gentle, joyful movie offering shrewd and surprising reflections from a culture far-removed from our own.<\/p>\n<p>The film takes aim at American gun culture and western values in general. It\u2019s beautifully measured, nicely played, and lovely to look at.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt;\"><b>Date<\/b> : <strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">August.2<\/span><\/strong>, 2024 at <strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">2pm and 7pm<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt;\"><b>Event location<\/b> : 63 Gore St E, Perth, ON K7H 1H8<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt;\"><b>Contact&nbsp;<\/b>: 613.267.7469<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>  Directed by: Pawo Choyning Dorji Written by: Pawo Choyning Dorji Tickets: $12 Running time: 1 hour 47 minutes Language(s):&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-56642","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-perth-on","category-perth-ontario-events"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pJPiZ-eJA","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/communityexplore.com\/perthontario\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56642","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/communityexplore.com\/perthontario\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/communityexplore.com\/perthontario\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/communityexplore.com\/perthontario\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/communityexplore.com\/perthontario\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=56642"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/communityexplore.com\/perthontario\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56642\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/communityexplore.com\/perthontario\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56642"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/communityexplore.com\/perthontario\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=56642"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/communityexplore.com\/perthontario\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=56642"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
